After waiting for a while, the information for the team battle finally arrived.

“Your teammate invites you to join a million-person team battle, do you accept?”

“Accept!”

“To join the team battle, each person needs to carry 10 million Cosmic Crystals as capital, are you sure?”

“Yes.”

Soon, the scenery changed in front of Lin Zhen’s eyes, and he appeared in a massive arena.

Countless people appeared almost simultaneously around him, including Yan Qiyue, Heige, and the others.

The size of this arena was almost unimaginable. On one side was Lin Zhen’s team, the Black Team, and on the other was the Red Team. They were separated by ten miles, and the opposite side was filled with dense crowds.

One million people on each side!

There wasn’t any tactic in such a battle; the goal was to charge forward, kill the opponents, and for every kill, you could acquire half of their 10-million capital!

If an opponent had accumulated 30-million capital, killing them would give you 15-million!

So once your accumulated capital exceeded 20-million, even if you died, you still profited.

“Lin Zhen, we need to cover and cooperate with each other. In such a battle, individual strength is insignificant, and teamwork is necessary to make money, understand?”

“I understand, don’t worry.”

As they spoke, countless people from the opposing side already swarmed towards them, and the people from Lin Zhen’s side also charged fiercely.

Lin Zhen and his teammates had no choice but to move forward. There were people everywhere, both in the sky and on the ground, and not moving meant being trampled on by those behind them.

Those with long-range abilities immediately launched their attacks without hesitation.

Countless Energy Storms, Spiritual Power, hidden weapons, and direct attacks struck them.

Lin Zhen and his teammates were approximately situated in the front half of the crowd, so they wouldn’t be the first ones attacked but would soon be engulfed in the battle.

Each position had its pros and cons. The front allowed players to kill faster, but it also made them more susceptible to being killed quickly.

As Lin Zhen and his team were charging, a group of enemies had already locked onto them from the opposing side.

“Confirm target positions, including Lin Zhen, there are five of them. As instructed by the boss, God Machine Clan warriors, prepare to snipe and kill the five of them immediately!”

Five Tier Nine Star System Warriors appeared on the opposing side. Like Polo in Lin Zhen’s team, these people were born with innate sniping skills, and their arms could transform into Laser Guns that fired Star Power Bullets.

These bullets weren’t ordinary ones, nor were they Energy Element bullets; they were made from a warrior’s Star Power.

If they had 5,000 Star Power, they could choose to shoot 100 or even 1,000 Star Power at once.

Under Xuan Jiang’s orders, each of these people chose to shoot their maximum Star Power this time.

Such an attack would be lethal if it reached someone, almost equivalent to the opponent self-destructing in front of you, ensuring death. That’s why Polo, even at Star System Level 4, could hold a critical position in Lin Zhen’s team as a member of the God Machine Clan.

And now, this enemy group of Tier Nine Star System warriors was using this technique against Lin Zhen and his teammates.

While on the move, Lin Zhen suddenly felt an intense chill all over his body!

“Not good!”

Lin Zhen roared as this ominous feeling appeared suddenly, as if he would face death in the next second. He immediately activated Time Stop.

Then, with his eyes straining, he barely caught a glimpse of a long trajectory tearing through the sky, rushing into his Time Stop at an incredibly fast speed. Subsequently, the Time Stop was broken by this force!

Since Time Stop couldn’t halt the attack, it proved that the enemy’s power was greater than Lin Zhen’s Star Power!

From the moment Lin Zhen initiated Time Stop, he simultaneously launched his next move.

Spatial Slash!

Before being sniped, Lin Zhen concentrated all his strength and unleashed an enormous Spatial Slash, which howled as it plunged into the enemy lines.

He didn’t know the effects of this Spatial Slash; the next second, the feeling of imminent death struck him.

The sniper shot was almost unstoppable and inescapable. It exploded ruthlessly in front of Lin Zhen’s eyes, followed by endless darkness!

With a flash of white light, Lin Zhen had left the million-person arena, along with his four teammates.

The five of them looked at each other without uttering a word.

Heige, Yan Qiyue, and the others lost half of their 10 million investments, leaving only 5 million for each of them. They hadn’t even touched the enemy’s side.

Polo cursed angrily, “This was definitely premeditated. Someone was deliberately targeting us, and the attackers were top-level fighters of our God Machine Clan. That attack was as powerful as a Tier Nine Star System Warrior’s self-explosion. I, Polo, am confident that I don’t have the face to offend such big shots. Who can tell me what the hell happened?”

Yuxuan from the Qingling Empire also looked upset, “The only enemy from my past could be my ex-boyfriend, but he wouldn’t have the strength or resources to mobilize such powerful people.”

Yan Qiyue pondered for a moment, “I don’t know either.”

Heige said, “No need to guess. We must have offended some godlike figure; otherwise, no one could achieve this. Only someone like them could instantly lock onto us among millions of people.”

All eyes eventually fell on Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen first checked his own death. He had lost 5 million of the 10 million Cosmic Crystals, but now it had unexpectedly turned into 330 million! ”

That is to say, the Spatial Slash he sent out before his death killed 65 opponents.

Not everyone was an elite player. Among them, there were quite a few Star System Stage players with low strength, so it wasn’t surprising for Lin Zhen to kill over 60 people in one strike.

But Lin Zhen couldn’t feel any happiness, because new challenges had already arrived.

He was out of the million-player arena, and new challenges immediately followed, giving him no chance at all.

Under such circumstances, being able to kill more than 60 people was already considered extremely lucky.

More importantly, his teammates already harbored some dissatisfaction.

Lin Zhen took a deep breath: “I didn’t expect this outcome either. I’d like to apologize to everyone. I previously offended a person named Xuan Jiang, and I’m sorry for causing you all losses. I’ll compensate you for the money you lost.”

After saying that, Lin Zhen compensated each of them with 5 million Cosmic Crystals. This wasn’t a small sum, and since they had met by chance, Lin Zhen didn’t want to owe anyone anything.

Yan Qiyue originally wanted to refuse the compensation, but suddenly there was a rolling message within the Dimensional Universe.

Such rolling messages could only be sent by the top three warriors in this region, and everyone could receive it.

“I am Xuan Jiang. I hereby declare that the Martial Artist Lin Zhen from the Fire Kirin Empire is my enemy. Anyone who teams up with him will be targeted by me in the arena. I am going to suppress him, so you all should watch out!”

The message was simple, but it carried an unmistakable murderous intent!

There was immediate silence in the team. Heige and the others looked at each other but said nothing.

Yan Qiyue looked at Lin Zhen worriedly: “Lin Zhen, how did you offend such a person? Xuan Jiang is the top expert in our small battle zone. No wonder such a thing happened.”

Polo rolled his eyes: “So that’s how it is. I was just an innocent bystander.”

Yuxuan turned her head away, not looking at Lin Zhen anymore, her attitude very clear.

Heige wanted to say something, but Lin Zhen stopped him.

“I can understand everyone’s feelings. I didn’t want this to happen either. I think my relationship with you all as teammates should come to an end.”

After transferring all the money to them, Lin Zhen waved to Yan Qiyue: “Brother Yan, see you later.”

Yan Qiyue was stunned for a moment, feeling uncomfortable in his heart, but he had no choice. In the Dimensional Arena, the strong ruled, and Xuan Jiang had issued such an obvious threat. Anyone who continued to team up with Lin Zhen would truly be tired of living.

The next moment, Lin Zhen’s figure disappeared from the Dimensional Arena.

He had already left.

He couldn’t stay in the Star System Arena, and the Black Hole Period wasn’t interesting either. In this arena, the only choice for him was to leave.

His figure reappeared in the rented inn he was staying at. Lin Zhen sat on the bed and slowly opened his eyes.

This time, he admitted defeat. Although he had won a lot of money, he had lost the qualification to continue fighting in the arena.

At the same time, he also saw his own strength clearly.

If it were a Martial Artist under a hundred years old, Lin Zhen would almost fear no one. He had confidence to fight anyone. Even if there was a difference in strength, it wouldn’t be much, and he would definitely have the power to fight.

For those veteran Martial Artists, however, the gap was more obvious.

Lin Zhen had learned all these techniques in just over a decade, so it was only natural that those who had been practicing for thousands of years would know even more. Most importantly, their Star Power was stronger.

Even with his tenfold compression, anyone who could cultivate to the Star System Stage would have at least seven or eight times compression as well.

After all, there was an insurmountable gap between the Black Hole Early Stage and the Tier Nine Star System.

It was also thanks to his mutated Black Hole and Dark Star that he was able to exist in the Star System Arena. Otherwise, he wouldn’t even have the qualifications to stay there.

However, his departure was temporary. Lin Zhen never planned to quit forever, and he would be back.

“Huff~~!”

He exhaled a breath of turbid air.

“What I lack now is Star Power.”

“The Star Power of those veteran Star System Warriors usually ranges from 6,000 to 10,000. Only with such strength can they survive in the Star System Arena and not fear most people.”

“I was a bit reckless. I had just advanced to the Black Hole Period, but I never had time to stabilize my realm and practice patiently. I’ve gotten used to taking shortcuts, but this lack of accumulation won’t do.”

“Reviving Little Phoenix, I can still make money. I now have more than 4 billion in my hands, plus the 1.5 billion from selling the Artifact created by my previous incarnation, I have more than 5 billion. This will be more than enough to promote the Flame again.”

“With the incandescent Flame, I will be able to create top-quality Artifacts, and my wealth will continue to roll.”

“I should take this time to calm down and cultivate. I will return to the Dimensional Arena sooner or later. By then, those who block my path to fortune will have nowhere to run!”

Lin Zhen, who had been hit hard, did not become disheartened as some people had imagined. Instead, he had become calm.

Just like a true treasure sword, it would have to go through millions of grindings before it could shine with a breathtaking radiance!
